This project, sponsored by the University, is to develop a gateway to enable low-cost (Arduino-based) sensors to control parts of the building. If successful this will be rolled out to both buildings and will allow students to build projects that integrate with these. + +## Mobile Vehicle Detection and Fault reporting + +Accurate tracking of traffic is becoming essential for the development of congestion detection systems. This project is to develop a low-cost mobile vehicle tracking tool. + +The project will (probably) be based around either a Raspberry Pi 4 or Jetson Nano and will require the development and evaluation of a simple [ANPR](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_number-plate_recognition) solution which can then be used to identify vehicles. Once this has been build and evaluated this could be used to build a system to detect issues such as: + +1. Faulty vehicle lights. +2. Drivers on their smartphones.
